A "principal square root" is always...

Mathematics

Really none of the above.  

A principal square root of a real number is a positive real number (or a positive real number times i, if you're up to complex numbers, but let's assume not.)  It's not necessarily a positive integer, √2 being the obvious example.

Is √2 a positive fraction?   We can write it as √2 / 1 so I suppose it is.  It's certainly not a rational number.  Even if we grant irrationals as fractions surely √0=0 isn't a positive fraction.  So "always" isn't correct.

I'd go with none of the above, but if I had to choose I'd choose D.

Step by step plz <br> 2x^2 + x - 3
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

x = 1 or x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

2 x^2 + x - 3 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(x - 1) (2 x + 3) = 0

Split into two equations:

x - 1 = 0 or 2 x + 3 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:

x = 1 or 2 x + 3 = 0

Subtract 3 from both sides:

x = 1 or 2 x = -3

Divide both sides by 2:

Answer: x = 1 or x = -3/2

Which expression is equivalent to -18a^-2b^5/-12a^-4b^-6?
Novosadov [1.4K]
First divide the  coefficients:-
-18 / -12  = 3/2

a^-2 / a^-4  = a^2

b^-5 / b^-6  =  b


so the expression simplifies to  3a^2b / 2
